Seems to be raining bikes today, as Range Rover takes the BMW road and enters the cycle arena. But unlike BMW, this concept is a road bike and not a racer. Designed by Gerry McGovern, the recreational vehicle concept is called as the Range Rover Evoque concept road bike. Taking cue from the car its built on, the bike spots a high modulus carbon fiber monocoque frame, which has been handmade by Karbona. The car features a F1 race car style building approach with aerospace alloy handle bars and composite seat post to keep the weight light. This bike will also come with a 20-gear Shimano Ultegra system, and will also bear the Range Rover and Evoque styled graphics.
Luxurious like all its SUVs, the bike will come with a leather seat and silicone-gel grips for added comfort. This single unit concept road bike was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. Hopefully a market friendly model will be in the pipeline soon.
